Yijing, Governor's Mansion
"Guangdong is like looking at the ancient times. Saints are among the heavens and the earth and are the first of all living things. They observe the opening and closing of yin and yang to name things, know the door of survival and death, and plan the ending and beginning of all kinds of things... ········”
In the room, Murong Qingwu held "Guiguzi" in her hands and murmured to herself. She had read this ancient book in her hand when she was eleven years old, but now that she reads it again, she has new insights.
Half an hour later, the little maid Ying'er, who came with Murong Qingwu as a dowry, quietly came to Murong Qingwu's side. After noticing Ying'er's appearance, Murong Qingwu asked calmly:
"How does that go?"
"Last night, Lieutenant General Yasuda Yu was rescued from Ximen Nansi Hutong of the Coordination Office. I heard that he also arrested more than ten spies from the Supervision Department!"
"After she got the news in the middle of the night last night, she went directly to the Coordination Office, and she hasn't come back yet!"
When Murong Qingwu heard this, she raised her dark eyebrows, a faint smile appeared on her pretty face and said lightly:
"What a deep brother-sister relationship!"
After speaking, Murong Qingwu pondered for a moment, and then gradually made a decision in his heart. He put down the Guiguzi in his hand and walked directly towards the south.
After walking for about a cup of tea, Murong Qingwu came to the southernmost courtyard of the Governor's Mansion. This courtyard was the most unfavorable courtyard in the Governor's Mansion except for the residence of the maids and servants. At this time, the old woman in the courtyard, Grandma Wu, While sweeping the floor, when he saw Murong Qingwu appear, he immediately stopped sweeping the floor, bowed to Murong Qingwu and said:
"I have met Madam Murong. My wife has been caught in the cold recently and it is inconvenient to see guests. Madam Murong, please come back..."
Murong Qingwu ignored Nanny Wu's polite refusal. Without waiting for Nanny Wu to finish her words, she walked directly towards the courtyard door. Seeing that Murong Qingwu was trying to force her way in, Nanny Wu was shocked at first, and then The protector was so eager that she didn't care about her status, she just wanted to stop Murong Qingwu, but before she met Murong Qingwu, she was stopped by Ying'er, the maid behind Murong Qingwu.
Grandma Wu, who was old and frail, was no match for Ying Er, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood. She could only watch Murong Qingwu walk into the courtyard.
Although he had long realized that Shen Yutong's situation in the mansion would not be very good, Murong Qingwu frowned slightly when he saw everything in the courtyard in front of him.
Although the yard was kept very clean, it could not hide the shabby atmosphere in the yard. At this moment, the owner of the yard seemed to have noticed something strange in the yard, and walked out with a slightly bulging belly.
Shen Yutong was a little surprised when she saw Murong Qingwu dancing in the yard. At this time, Grandma Wu also came over and said to Shen Yutong very guiltily:
"Sorry ma'am, I didn't stop them, they forced their way in!"
After hearing what Mother Wu said, Shen Yutong smiled and said comfortingly:
"Mother Wu, you have done a good job. You should go back to the house and have a good rest!"
Listening to Shen Yutong's comfort, Mother Wu nodded and bowed to leave. Then Shen Yutong turned back to the house, and Murong Qingwu followed him into the house. After entering the house and looking at Shen Yutong, Murong Qingwu was calm. said:
"She is An Miaoyi's person..."
Shen Yutong was not surprised at all by what Murong Qingwu said. She picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Murong Qingwu and said lightly:
"She is a miserable person!"
"If because of my relationship, she can earn more money to support her family, what would she not do?"
Murong Qingwu frowned slightly when she heard this, as if she wanted to say something else, but seeing that Shen Yutong knew clearly, she didn't say anything about this issue. Instead, she looked at the tea cup and asked with some doubts:
"I remember, didn't the housekeeper assign two maids to serve you? Why didn't you see them?"
Facing Murong Qingwu's inquiry, Shen Yutong still asked calmly:
"There are two maids, but there is a war on the front line now. The eldest lady ordered to reduce the expenses in the mansion to support the frontline war. She streamlined the staff in the mansion and sent dozens of maids and maids from the General Affairs Office back to their hometowns. So now the General Affairs Office We didn’t have enough manpower, so we borrowed the maids from my yard!”
Murong Qingwu was a little surprised when he heard this and asked:
"I do not know how?"
Hearing this, Shen Yutong picked up the teacup and took a sip, smiling without saying a word. Although Shen Yutong didn't say it clearly, the extremely intelligent Murong Qingwu quickly understood, and his eyes became complicated.
There is no doubt that these people in the house are all serving food for others. Although Shen Yutong is Ye Mingsheng's wife, she is not favored by Ye Mingsheng. He married her by mistake in the first place. Shen Yutong didn't have any good backers. Thirdly, even though Shen Yutong was sought after by countless people in the Liyuan, in the traditional concept, the Liyuan belonged to the lower class. As the old saying goes, a bitch is ruthless and an actor is unrighteous... ·················
Therefore, because of this experience in the Liyuan, Shen Yutong was despised by many people in the Governor's Mansion, the first of which was Mrs. Ye Cui. This old lady with traditional concepts always felt that Ye Mingsheng's marrying an actor was an insult to the Ye family. Although Ye Mingsheng has already done the work. On the surface, she doesn't want to say anything, but in private, she always calls Shen Yutong that actor.
As the saying goes, Ye Cui's contempt for Shen Yutong led to the servants not paying much attention to Shen Yutong. In addition, in order to alleviate the financial pressure on the Fengwu Army, Ye Mingsheng also concentrated all resources on external expansion. Since then, all non-essential expenses of the Governor's Mansion have been reduced, making the life of the Governor's Mansion not very comfortable.
Under such a background, Shen Yutong's life here was particularly tight. The furniture given to her by the General Affairs Office were all used by others, and the silk jewelry and other things she was given were leftovers picked out by other ladies. , even the maids were borrowed. Although life was a little tighter, fortunately, An Miaoyi ran the family very strictly. No one dared to withhold money or other things, and no servants dared to contradict the master.
As for Murong Qingwu, who was born as the direct daughter of the Murong family, she honestly didn't notice the changes in the house during this time. She had never been short of money, and she never asked about the money she was given, and gave it all to Ying. When she married Ye Mingsheng, the Murong family not only prepared a large amount of goods, but also bought ten prosperous shops in Yijing to give Murong Qingwu as a dowry so that she could get rent in the future. Subsidize your living expenses.
Moreover, the Murong family has a strong background. Even though Murong Qingwu is also a concubine, all the servants in the mansion are respectful and dare not show any slights... ··········
Although she really wanted to help Shen Yutong, Murong Qingwu knew the personality of her good friend. She knew that as soon as she opened her mouth, Shen Yutong would probably serve tea to see off the guests. After a moment of silence, Murong Qingwu looked at Shen Yutong, very seriously. said:
"Although Pei Zhixiu is very favored by Ye Mingsheng, she is not as simple as you think. An Miaoyi and the Cui family once prepared to deal with her and quietly investigated her details in the palace, but in the end they returned without success. !”
"Is this what you came here to tell me today?" Shen Yutong asked calmly:
Murong Qingwu met Shen Yutong's gaze and said softly:
"In troubled times, Yutong, you have to take care of yourself!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Murong Qingwu turned around and left. Looking at her back as she left, there was a trace of disappointment in Shen Yutong's eyes.

Zhuo County, governor's seat
"Report to your lord, the Anqing Army raided Kangyin. The Huai Army was caught off guard and was defeated in Kangyin. Kangyin City changed hands and at least 30,000 Huai Army were annihilated. Xu Zhaojie is leading the main force of the Anqing Army and marching non-stop towards Shouchun!" Wang Xuecheng bowed He turned to Ye Mingsheng in front of him and reported:
Ye Mingsheng had already expected this news, so he was not too surprised. He just sighed slightly and said:
"Feng Keqin is done this time!"
Because of Xu Zhaojie's relationship, he has been paying close attention to the situation in Huainan. According to the intelligence from the Coordination Office, after a series of previous wars, Xu Zhaojie and Feng Keqin now occupy half of Huainan's territory with Kangyin as the boundary.
In order to withstand the offensive of the Anqing Army, Feng Keqin gathered about 50,000 troops in the Kangyin area. These people accounted for nearly 70% of all the troops under Feng Keqin's command. They were also the last elite troops of the Huai Army. The remaining troops were They have gathered in various towns and have been mobilized to the limit.
Therefore, now that Kangyin City has destroyed the main force of the Huai Army, it means that Feng Keqin is finished. Perhaps Feng Keqin can rely on Shouchun City to continue to hold on for a while, but this is just a death struggle after all. It is already a matter of time before Huainan's surname is Xu. Got it!
To be honest, Xu Zhaojie invaded with force. As the governor of Huainan, Feng Keqin's performance was not bad but quite satisfactory. Although he was never able to gain the upper hand on the frontal battlefield, the public support and prestige he accumulated by sitting in Huainan for more than ten years have always been He tried his best to cause trouble behind Xu Zhaojie, so that Xu Zhaojie could not go all out and concentrate all his energy on dealing with him...
To be honest, if Ye Mingsheng had not gone south this time, it would have caused a domino-like chain reaction of various forces. Without external intervention in the situation in Huainan, it is still unclear who would win. However, it is a pity that Feng Keqin mistakenly believed Shangguan Hongyuan's promise of mediation, and Xu Zhaojie went north. Determination to fight against Ye Mingsheng.
During the period when Xu Zhaojie was gathering troops to move north, Feng Keqin and his Huai army were too relaxed without the pressure of the Anqing army. They did not expect that the Fengwu army was confronting them. Xu Zhaojie would feint and then suddenly point his finger at them!
After pondering for a while, Ye Mingsheng ordered Wang Xuecheng:
"Make some moves behind Xu Zhaojie. I remember that the Third Division left several thousand cavalry in Fengqiu. If necessary, they can send troops to assist you in your work. In short, I don't want to see our army go south before the war is over. , Xu Zhaojie captured Shouchun!"
Although Ye Mingsheng's tone was calm, it was full of unquestionable flavor, which made Wang Xuecheng feel deep pressure. However, the thought that he had Fengqiu's cavalry to help, and the Anqing army and people's resentment in the rear, also made Wang Xuecheng feel deeply pressured. Wang Xuecheng felt more confident. He took a deep breath and assured Ye Mingsheng:
"Before our army ends its war southward, the humble position will hold Xu Zhaojie back, leaving him no time to do anything else..."
Feeling the determination in Wang Xuecheng's words, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly and said:
"Good job!"
"yes!"
After Wang Xuecheng took the order and left, Ye Mingsheng turned his attention to the sand table in front of him again, focusing on Yujing.
Three days ago, Guo Zhiping's 10,000 cavalrymen from the Third Division were already in position, and together with Peng Ce's 4th Division, they launched several attacks against Duan Yanfeng's 30,000 Qi troops, but the results were never able to achieve the expected results!
Under the dual support of cavalry and artillery, the Fengwu Army maintained a great advantage over the Qi Army in the battle situation, and firmly suppressed the Qi Army, rendering them unable to move. They suffered thousands of casualties in just a few days, but But he still couldn't completely eat these 30,000 Qi troops!
I have to say that Cao Changping really made the right choice this time. Jiang is indeed old and hot, and Duan Yanfeng is really old and strong. His combat idea is to fortify the stronghold and fight stupidly. In Fengwu Army Cavalry With his eager eyes, he did not underestimate the enemy's advance and did not give Guo Zhiping the slightest opportunity to take advantage of it. Under the leadership of this man, these 30,000 Qi troops were like stones in a pit, smelly and hard!
According to the opinion of the staff, if they want to completely defeat Duan Yanfeng's 30,000 Qi army, the Fengwu Army needs to invest Zhang Meng's troops of the 7th Division guarding Zhuoxian County into the battle. Not only that, but in addition to the 7th Division In addition, more than 5,000 casualties may be incurred...
Zhang Meng's 7th Division was the strategic reserve in Ye Mingsheng's plan. After being raided by 5,000 Anqing Army cavalry, Ye Mingsheng also felt that his defense in Zhuoxian was not adequate, so he also followed He Jingyun's suggestion. Zhang Meng's 7th Division was left in Zhuoxian,
In this way, it can not only ensure Ye Mingsheng's own protection in Zhuoxian, but also ensure the military deterrence of Qilu and prevent Cao Changping from possible encirclement of Wei and rescue Zhao. Go north to Youyan to take the hinterland of Fengwu Army. Although in Ye Mingsheng's view, Cao Changping does not have the courage. , dare to play with yourself like this, but for the sake of safety, you still have to be careful!
As for the casualties of five thousand people, that was something Ye Mingsheng was unwilling to pay. Although Ye Mingsheng also understood the principle of not being in charge of soldiers, the life of every soldier in the Fengwu Army was very precious. There was at least one person behind them. Family, so unnecessary sacrifices must be avoided!
The key to breaking the situation now lies in Yujing. A few days ago, Yujing reported that the Gao family and his son had taken the bait, so let’s see what happens next... ·············
